Dream scenario is move him to the Rams for a late round draft pick.

I'd be fine with improving that and letting Kelley, CT, Brown and Jones (if he fixed his fumbling issue) compete and share the work load.

Listening to 980 (Cooley and others), we NEED a RB badly based on Kelly's performance last year. Kelly missed cuts and while getting positive yards, always left blocked yards on the field.

I say we definitely need a RB, where we draft one is another story. There are a few there that could contribute early and often. You got the pipedream of Fournette, the more realistic dream of Cook and then you have McCaffery, Kamura, Mixon, there are talented RBs to be had, and I do want to see if Keith Marshall can contribute as well.

Kelley should be improved in year 2, both physically and mentally stronger. I'm not ready to write him off yet.

We have so many WR's, like we did last season..
So many holes to fill on defense, and the DT's that we signed are not great. Swearinger played on a top defense with a top defensive coach. I am not convinced they will make much of a difference.
If we use our top two picks on a RB or O Lineman we will have to suffer through another season of watching our defense not be able to get off the field. We will be home in January.....again.

I'm betting we'll go D heavy in this draft, for better or worse I can see us moving away from Scot's BPA philosophy and going more for need.

This. I really don't see any need at all to draft a RB higher than Rd 5 or so.. too many other needs.

Who edits the site? Time to replace Jackson with Crowder on the banner.

I hope you are right.
I dont want any "oohh shiny" offensive guys.
I want some guys that will plug the toilet.

Even if the oohh shiny guy rates as the better prospect? The draft is a crapshoot even with all the work put in it. Better to pick the guy you think has a higher chance of succeeding in the NFL, regardless of position. If you have two prospects you rated equally and one is a need, then yeah go for it.

I'm not going to get into it because there's only so many ways to say I think this franchise is fucked, but drafting for need over BPA? Add another reason to the list.

Schneed10 · 03-25-2017, 08:14 PM

I would definitely not complain if we use a first rounder on a stud RB like Cook. Fat Rob is a hard charger and should improve but the RBs that really concern defenses are the ones with the breakaway speed and hard charging combo. It would make our play action game more lethal, and without Jackson we could use someone who safeties have to watch closely. That half step of hesitation would do Crowder and Doctson wonders.

We really need D line and that's my dream scenario but I will not complain one bit if we end up with a stud runner.

Bangee7 · 03-25-2017, 09:18 PM

The only RB's I would even consider at #17 are Fournette, Cook or McCaffrey.

But if that's the pick, they better come back with ILB in the 2nd & DT in the 3rd.

I'd be pretty happy with James Conner (RB, Pitt) or even Kareem Hunt (RB Toledo) in a later round.

Yeah, and replace Smith with Kate Upton while you're at it.
